NOISE MERCHANTS. Nice description.

Thurston is a Gem. I think I even prefer what he says to the music. Something very cool about the theoretical nature of their thinking and expression. :)

@bottafff As a fellow 14-year-old, but one whose favourite band is Sonic Youth, I'm gonna have to agree with leamanc, but I'm gonna have to add Goo (1990) to that list. The order I was introduced to Sonic Youth in was Goo, Daydream Nation, EVOL, and then Sister, and I'd recommend exactly that order.

I heart Steve

[ziwzihizwiz]

where can i get sunglasses like that?

[Orgonagon]

I'm going to mail Thurston Moore some dead flies.

@bottafff Sonic Youth was most "popular" in the early to mid '90s, thanks to the wider exposure of their major label deal. However, their heyday is widely regarded to be from 1986 to 1988, when they released the fantastic albums EVOL, Sister, and Daydream Nation. That said, all the periods and phases of their music are awesome, and they are well worth getting into. Start with the three albums I mentioned above.

just wondering...since i'm only 14 and therefore didn't live through this time....what period was sonic youth the most popular. cause i read that they only signed to a major record label in the early 90's...and that they got better once they signed so is there heyday considered the early 90's ??
